Abstract
Fluctuations in physics observables in high energy ion collisions have been a topic of particular interest in recent years as they may provide important signals regarding the formation of quark-gluon plasma and the existence of a critical point. We provide predictions for basic initial state characteristics of proton-nucleus collisions from Glauber Monte Carlo models. The following systems were simulated and analysed: p + 12 C, p + 14 N, p + 63 Cu, and p + 208 Pb at wide energy range. We apply GLISSANDO accordingly fitted to tasks defined in this paper.

Summary
The aim of this talk is to provide predictions for basic initial state characteristics of proton-nucleus collisions from Glauber Monte Carlo (GMC) models. To do this we used GLISSANDO [1, 2], fitted to tasks defined in this work.
